2014 Anthology of Featured Poets

This anthology contains poetry by 91 of the 113 poets featured at Moonstone in 2014; it does not include those who read in any of the group readings including 100 Thousand Poets or Poetry Ink. These poems are presented in chronological order (Ryan Eckes was the first poet to read on January 7, 2014 and is the first poet in the anthology) while the biographical notes are in alphabetical order. I thank the poets in participating in the programs and in this anthology.

“The Sunday Dec. 14, 2014 Featured Poets Anthology reading and party at the Brandywine Workshop treated us all to a delectable assortment of poets and poetries, a huge and happy reading by some 62 poets who gave readings at the various venues of the 2014 Moonstone series. This was a holiday celebration, a celebration of poetry and poet friendships, and an opportunity to show gratitude to Larry Robin, who, along with his series curators, brought us together throughout the year. Someone at the reading described Larry Robin as a literary activist. That he is, and much more. From his progressive bookstore to his series of readings and literary events around Philadelphia, he has given a home to poets and writers and their audiences for decades.”–Lynn Levin
